Music producer David Holmes has done a DJ mix for a City Hall dance event tonight - that will be silent.

The Belfast born entertainer, who has gone from club night DJing to doing Hollywood film scores, has recorded a 90 minute set that will entertain revellers at the event which is part of the Lughnasa International Friel Festival.

But it will be a rave with a difference as everyone who comes will be listening to the music on headphones, meaning no one else can hear the tunes but them.

Organisers said today: “This is a ‘silent’ dance in which all participants will wear headphones so up to 300 people wearing headsets at one time listening to music of 6 Belfast DJs curated by internationally renowned DJ David Holmes.”

They say there will be “different mixes” on to two channels for the no ticket event which is first come first served for over 18s.

For anyone who can’t make it tonight, Holmes has released his mix on music sharing site Soundcloud. Along with the post, he says: “Here’s a brand new 90 min mix from me for the silent disco taking place at Belfast’s City Hall from 9pm - midnight this Friday as part of the Lughnasa International Friel Festival.”

He says there’s an “an exclusive Andrew Weatherall dub mix of my new project UNLOVED” in it and that he will be uploading “other great mixes from DJ Monia, Jeff Doherty, Stuart Watson, Rodger Montgomery and Phil Keiran”.

Mourne seafood and new craft beer pub Brewbot are providing food and drinks at the event.
